Keeping Your Keyboards Clean.

Have you ever considered how many germs lurk on your office keyboard? When you think about it, keyboards are the primary workstation in the modern office and as such they can potentially host bacteria in many forms. In fact, a study at UNC’s medical care centre remarkably found that all keyboards that they tested harboured a staphylococci germ commonly found in hospitals and 80% also contained other disease causing bacteria called iptheroidds.

If that is not enough to get you reaching for an antiseptic cloth you might want to consider that office keyboards have been found to have as much as sixty times the germs found on toilet seats.

Make no mistake – keyboards can have a very negative impact upon your office health.

Most keyboards are collectors of dust particles as the spaces and gaps between keys make it easy for all sorts of debris to get trapped there. This build up encourages germs to grow and must be dealt with.

It’s essential that keyboards are cleaned regularly to prevent the build up of dangerous germs and the spread of disease amongst your employees. Here are a few tips to assist with keyboard cleaning.

Use disinfectant cloths to regularly clean the keyboards. There are cloths specifically designed for this purpose.

Shake your keyboard regularly to dislodge any dirt or food crumbs that may have fallen on it.

Consider purchasing some compressed air containers. These are great tools to use to clean the gaps and spaces on your keyboard

Discourage eating around keyboards, as food crumbs are a major source of contamination.

Ad-hoc keyboard cleaning programs may go some way to reducing the risk that keyboards pose to office health. However, when you engage a professional cleaning company to attend to your office cleaning needs, you can arrange to implement a regular keyboard cleaning program.

They are friendly, reliable, trustworthy, passionate about their work. Our office looks, smells and feels clean since we have changed to Envy Cleaning Solutions. The best part is when we use the washroom we know they have been cleaned and disinfected as they put toilet seals on the toilets and little hand soaps on the sinks. They use clean cloths and mops all colour coded and the fragrances used smell good enough to eat. I believe they will start a new generation of cleaners, young and full of energy. Great job guys we are very happy with your services. Keep up the good work.

We are unashamed clean freaks and so we were pleasantly surprised after Chris’ team’s clean. Fast forward 9 months and the standard hasn’t slipped – they still deliver a thorough clean each week. Highly recommended!

Before Envy Cleaning Solutions, we had the worst luck finding office cleaners. Finally we found a company that actually delivers what they promise! From our first meeting I was instantly impressed, and the level of cleaning was nothing less than perfect. The staff are friendly, efficient and nothing is a hassle. So impressed, and would highly recommend these guys to anyone!

“I have had my house cleaned by the same cleaners for over a year. I decided to give Envy cleaning solutions a go and do not regret my decision. My house definitely feels cleaner, looks cleaner and smells cleaner after they completed the work last week. They even added some little touches like leaving some little guest soaps, blue cleaning liquid in the toilet and hygienic bands on the toilet seats. I would highly recommend Envy cleaning solutions and look forward to them cleaning my house.”
